We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!

It might be due to the timing, but unlike the options booked through the travel agency, there were no other Japanese participants, which made me really feel like I was abroad, and it was great! The parasailing experience was fun, and the instructors were interesting. I even got to see a shark, which is something you don't usually see. Although I was a bit nervous because communication in Japanese was limited and there was the shark, I was very satisfied with this valuable experience!
時期的な事もあるかもしれませんが、旅行会社で予約したオプションとは違い、他の参加者に日本人がいなかったので海外に来たっていう実感ができとてもよかったです!
体験したパラセイリングもインストラクターの方々も面白く、普段はあまり見られないという鮫も見れ、日本語があまり通じないってのと鮫には少しドキドキしたけど、貴重な体験ができとても満足でした♪

My husband and our son, who will soon be two years old, participated in the Dolphin Encounter. I joined as an observer to film the event. My son was a bit scared and couldn't kiss the dolphin, but he seemed really happy to touch it. It's not often that we can have such an experience in Japan, so it became a wonderful memory. We also got some beautiful photos with the dolphin, and I'm glad we purchased those. I definitely want to participate again when we go to Hawaii.
もうすぐ2歳になる息子と主人がドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。私はビデオ撮影の為見学者で参加しました。息子はイルカとのキスは少し怖がって出来ませんでしたがイルカにタッチはすごく喜んでいた様でした。日本ではなかなかこんな体験は出来ないのですごく良い記念になりました。イルカとの写真も綺麗に撮って頂いてこちらも買って良かったです。またハワイに行くときは是非参加したいです。

This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!
今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time at Sea Life Park. The purpose of our visit this time was the "Dolphin Royal Swim"! Since my 8-year-old daughter met the age and height requirements, we decided to participate despite the somewhat high price, wanting her to have an experience interacting with dolphins that she can't have in Japan. Of course, since she couldn't participate alone, Dad joined her as a companion.
We also had our 5-year-old and 2-year-old with us, so we signed up for a tour without transportation and drove our family of five to Sea Life Park in a rental car. Since we were on the first session, it seemed fine for those driving, but it might be tough for those using the trolley for the first session.
In the session that the two of them participated in, there were no other children besides my daughter. The instructor who took care of them seemed to be Japanese, and there were explanations in Japanese, which my daughter seemed to understand. However, since the pool was deep and they only wore life jackets, I was worried about whether she would be okay. They swam in the pool holding onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins and pushed off the dolphins' noses to swim like "Superman." Water splashing in their faces was inevitable, so as long as they could handle that, I think children can enjoy it. However, since my daughter's feet are small, it seemed difficult for the dolphins to push her feet. They asked her if she wanted to try again after a failure, but she didn't want to retry. Dad, on the other hand, did great! There were also photos and DVDs available for purchase during the activity, which interested participants could check out and buy. It was over in a flash, but my daughter was very excited to have the experience of touching and seeing dolphins up close, something she can't usually do. I hope to let the younger two try it when they get bigger.
ハワイには数回訪れていますが、シーライフパークに行ったのは初めてでした。今回訪れた目的は『ドルフィンロイヤルスイム』!8歳の娘が年齢・身長制限をクリアしたこともあって、お値段は少々お高めですが、日本ではまずできないイルカとのふれあいをさせよう!と参加しました。もちろん娘一人ではまだ参加できないので、パパが同伴者として参加しました。
私たちは他に5歳と2歳の子も一緒だったので、送迎なしのツアーに申し込み、シーライフパークまでは家族5人でレンタカーで行きました。1番目の回だったので、レンタカーなどで行かれるかたは大丈夫のようですが、トロリーなどを使われる方は1番の回は厳しいかもしれません。
2人が参加した回は娘の他には子供はいませんでした。担当してくれたインストラクターの方は日本人のようで、日本語でも説明があり娘も理解できていたようですが、プールは当然足もつかず、ライフジャケットを着用するだけなので、大丈夫か心配でした。2頭のイルカの背びれにつかまってプールを泳いだり、足の裏をイルカの鼻でプッシュして”スーパーマン”のように泳いだり、顔に水がかかることは必至なので、そのあたりがクリアできていれば、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ただ、足の裏をプッシュしてもらうのは娘の足が小さいので、イルカ自身も難しいようです。失敗してもう一度やる?と聞かれていましたが、娘はリトライはしませんでした。パパの方は、バッチリ♪アクティビティ参加中の写真やDVDの販売もあり、希望者は確認して買うこともできます。あっというまでしたが、娘はイルカに触ったり間近で見たり、と普段できない経験ができてとても興奮していました。今度、下の二人が大きくなったらまたやらせてみたいなと思います。

A fantastic pod of dolphins appeared right nearby, and I was so excited! I was thrilled to see multiple dolphin spins right in front of me, along with a baby dolphin, and I even got to hear the dolphins' "squeaks." I was completely satisfied! In addition to the dolphins, there were sea turtles and beautiful fish, and in the distance, I could see whales swimming—what an emotional experience! I truly had a wonderful time. The staff were all bright, kind, and full of service spirit! They even performed hula dancing and played the ukulele.

Waking up early was worth it! I had a truly wonderful experience. After praying and throwing flowers into the sea, we set off! Dolphins appeared right away. During snorkeling, they swam close enough to reach out and even we got to see a baby dolphin. The handmade burgers made on the boat were also fantastic. Onboard, we were able to witness the rare male hula performed by a local boy. It was a tour that satisfied me from start to finish. I definitely want to participate again!

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!

Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!
今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で3回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ!

Two foreign staff members assisted us, one as the driver and the other explaining the parasailing and helping us put on life jackets.
They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.
While the foreigners flew one by one, I requested to go up together with another person.
At first, the boat sped off quickly, which was overwhelming, but once we were flying, it wasn't scary at all!
In fact, the wind was refreshing and the view was great☆
At the end, they playfully dropped us into the sea, but if you say "NO," they won't let you fall. Haha!
The flying experience went by in a flash!!
It was $15, and they also took photos. Since it was on film, we couldn't check them on the spot, but they had a telephoto lens, so they took pictures even after we were flying. I’m looking forward to the 24 shots we took.
Tips are requested separately. It might be a good idea to bring a little cash for tips for the camera.
担当してくれたのは外国人の方が二人で、運転手とパラセイリングの説明やライフジャケットを着せてくれて、上にあげてくれる人。
説明は英語と日本語でそれぞれしてくれたので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。
外国人は一人ずつ飛んでいたましたが、私は二人でお願いして一緒に上げてもらいました。
最初はボートが勢いよく進んでいくので圧倒されたけど、飛んでしまえばぜんぜん怖くなかったです!
むしろ、風が吹いてで景色も良かったのでさわやかでした☆
最後に愛嬌でぼちゃんと海に落とされるのですが、ちゃんとNOといえば落とさないでくれます。笑
あっという間のフライングでした!!
15ドルでしたから写真も撮ってくれます。
フィルムなのでその場で確認することは出来ませんが、望遠レンズ付なので飛んでからも写真を撮っていました。24枚取りで出来上がりが楽しみです。
チップは別に要求されます。
カメラをチップで少しお金を持っていくといいかもしれません。

It was a very precious experience to be able to touch dolphins. There were a total of 8 participants, including the two of us: 4 family members from America, 2 Japanese, and us.
The dolphin trainer was Japanese and provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. However, the return time of 2:30 PM for the first bus from the narrow Sea Life Park might make it difficult to pass the time.
Since we had plans in Waikiki at 1:30 PM, we took The Bus back. The travel time was about 1 hour. If you take either the No. 22 (not in service on Tuesdays) or No. 23 bus, you will definitely arrive in Waikiki. The No. 22 bus is called the Seaside Line and runs along a very beautiful coastal route.
For those who want to make the most of their afternoon, I recommend participating in the first morning session and taking The Bus back.
イルカに触れることが出来て大変貴重な体験でした。参加者は、私ども2名を含め全員で8名。
アメリカから来られたファミリー4名と日本人2名と私ども。
イルカトレーナーは、日本人の方で英語と日本語と両方で説明してくれ、非常に楽しめました。
ただ、帰りの時間が14時30分が第1便と狭いシーライフパークでは時間を潰すのに苦労するかも。
私どもは、午後13時30分よりワイキキでの予定があったため、ザ・バスにて帰って来ました。所用時間は約1時間。
22番(火曜日運休)と23番のどちらかに乗車すれば、間違いなくワイキキに着きます。
22番はシーサイドラインと呼ばれ非常にきれいな海外線を走る模様。
午後の時間を有意義に使いたい方は、午前一番の回に参加し、ザ・バスで帰ってくることをオススメします。

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.

I had my first experience at the age of sixty. I was a bit anxious before getting on the boat, but once we started, I forgot all about it. This time, I participated with my wife. Since we were in Waikiki, we had a great view of Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu. The instructions were in English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky were amazing, and without the sound of the wind, I truly felt like a bird. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance.
Lastly, I was a bit flustered when a foreigner prepared a tip, but I think it would be good if that was clearly stated. I went this time for my son's wedding, and I was able to have a wonderful experience.

We participated as a group of three women. One of us was a complete beginner, while the other two had only tried it a few times. However, it was our first time surfing in Hawaii... The price was affordable, we wanted to learn from locals, and transportation was included!
While the instructions were in English, I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. (There were also people who could speak Japanese.)
In any case, I highly recommend it! The instructors are kind and will definitely help beginners stand up on the board. However, if you prefer a slower pace and more thorough instruction, it might be better to avoid group sessions.

It's a waste not to go surfing when you're in Hawaii! I decided to give it a try. As a result, even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on my first wave. The staff takes great care to ensure that everyone can stand up and ride the waves.
However, I noticed that two young Japanese girls were being hit on by the staff. I recommend this experience for those who don't mind that sort of thing and can enjoy it as part of the fun. If you participate as a couple, you probably won't have to worry about such things.
It seems that the staff can speak basic Japanese. Even those who are worried about their English can enjoy themselves without any concerns. The price is likely high because it's aimed at Japanese tourists. Well, you can enjoy it at a reasonable price for what you get.
せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない!と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.
I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.
The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!
While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!
A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!
It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪
After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.
The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.
Thank you for this precious experience!

ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです!合計で20~30頭くらいかな?中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも!よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ!!!
今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪
その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング!ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。
はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。
貴重な体験を有難うございます!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon this time.
At my husband's request, we booked Atlantis.
On the day of the trip, it was clear and sunny, and we took a blue shuttle bus to the beach in the Ala Moana area where there was a pier.
We started at 10 AM, and there were many Japanese people.
The staff were also Japanese, and their explanations were easy to understand.
After boarding the boat, it took about ten minutes to reach the location of the submarine.
The sea sparkled, and we had a great view of Diamond Head!
When we boarded the submarine, it was almost full inside.
The one-hour underwater exploration was mystical, and the 10 AM tour included explanations in Japanese, making it easy to understand the names of tropical fish and the sunken ships in the sea.
We were also able to see sea turtles!
The round trip on the boat made me a little seasick, but it became a wonderful memory.
今回ハネムーンでハワイに行きました。
旦那さんの希望で、アトランティスを予約しました。
当日は快晴で、青い送迎バスにてアラモアナ方面のビーチへいくと桟橋がありました。
私たちは10時開始でしたが、日本人の方が多かったです。
スタッフの方も日本人で説明も分かり易かったです。
船に乗り込み潜水艦がある場所まで役10分。
海がきらきらとして、ダイヤモンドヘンドもばっちり望めました!
いざ潜水艦へ乗り込むと艦内はほぼ満席でした。
1時間の海底探検は神秘的でした、10時の回は日本語での説明つきで熱帯魚の名前や海の沈んでいる船等の解説は分かりやすかったです。
海がめも見ることができました!
往復の船はちょっぴり船酔い気味でしたが、とてもいい思い出になりました。

We participated in the Dolphin Encounter as a family of four. I was initially worried about whether it would be okay for my one-year-old and four-year-old, but once it started, they were thrilled to see the dolphins up close! The instructor spoke English, but it wasn't a problem. A staff member provided explanations in Japanese. While everyone was taking photos, they allowed us to touch the dolphins and kept us engaged with various activities. The water in the pool is a bit cold, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or similar. The area isn't very large, so I think you'll have plenty of time to explore during the tour. It's a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, so I highly recommend it.
家族4人でドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
1歳の子供と、4歳の子供ではじめは大丈夫かな?と
心配していましたが、始まると間近でみるイルカに大興奮!
インストラクターの方は英語でしたが問題はありません。
サブの方が日本語で説明してくれました。
皆さんが写真を撮る間も、イルカに触らせてくれたり、
あきさせない工夫をしてくれました。
プールの中は少し冷たいのでラッシュガードなど
着ていた方が良いと思います。
園内もさほど広くないのでツアー内で十分見学できると思います。
日本では体験できないのでお勧めです。
